I just got a freebsd box - and would like to try exim on it (I've been
an exim user for 3 years on 2 rh and 2 deb boxes)
I'm hoping someone can help me here with my migration...
There's an exim port, I think i understand how to install it...
But do I have to do anything special to remove sendm

Sendmail is fully dead and exim is running.
